SOME "gentleman who," it is re
lated, "has travelled considerably il
the mining region of Western Mary
land," says:
The mining law was framed by lawyer
employed by the miners and passed by tie
Legislature without amendment or eTasurc
There has never since the law went into ef-
feet been an inspector who was not a prac
tical miner and who was appointed to the
position from his place in the mine where
previously he had been employed in digging
coal.
The law may have been framed by
lawyer. but by none ''employed by
the miners" 1t did not become a
law without amendment or erasure."
The incumbent inspector is the
second who "was not a practical
MINER" and Edward Mulvanv, of
Cumberland, said to ''have the call"
on the place at the next turn of the
wheel, will be the third who has
risen superior to practical knowledge
of the art and labor of underground
work.
Agitation is dong wonders for the
noble order of North America.
THE Knights of Labor, it is said,
want five bills passed by the ensuing
Legislature.
Among these, it is suspected, are
the ''stolen ventilation" and semi
monthly pay bills.
The baseball people should move
toward having the national game
charter amended so us to prohibit
"fouls."
Meanwhile, the JOURNAL, with its
accustomed grace and tluency, is con
structing bill legallzing footraces
which, when a law. will make the
heart of every sport glow with semi
monthly joy and spread its rartures
all abroad.

occasion to test the quality Of Hon.
B. l.. Turner's canned goods, and it is
uNdeniably true that none in the mar

vegetables retain their fresh. natural

reason : there is no filagree work about
his goods, no aduteration, no shenani-
gan of any sort. Originally every
thing is sound and pure, and put up
to remain so. His goods have obtain
ed wide celebrity, Il proof of which was
seen this year in the fact that nearly
his entire output was covered by un-
solicited orders from far and near be-

A Fine BuiIding.-Amonr structures
built IN this county for popular use
and accommodation there is none sur
passes in convenience and elegance
the new station house of the Cumber-
land and PENNSYLVANIA railroad at
Lonaconing. 1t is History, 65 by
a feet in size, built of brick on a stone
foundation and covered with slate.
The architectural presentation is very
handsome, the front showing pretty
gable and Other modern designs of
minor Importance. The brickwork is
painted in imitation of pressed brick
and penciled in black. Inside, the
office, waiting and warerooms are
spacious and admirably adapted to
their several uses. The finish of the
two former apartments is especially
fine. The ceilings and wainscoting
are in bright, solid cherry, relieved by
trimmings of vanished pine. The eff
feet is very pleasing to the eye. The
JOURNAL learned in connection with
the erection of the structure that much
credit is due to the agent, Robert
Matheny, who induced the company
to favor Homecoming with an ornament
of which all concerned may be Justly
proud. 1t is safe to say that no town
on the road is better equipped in the
way of railroad service.

AT the annual meeting of the AS
sociation of Public School Commits
sioners, recently held in Baltimore,
H. G. Weimer, secretary, treasurer
and examiner of our County School
Board, presided, and it is re-
lated of him that "he confessed that
he would not like, as teacher, to be
graded by person who had never
taught even primary school. He
proposed to give every teacher new
certificate every year." He said
further:
/ only renew certificates for one year. /
examine all teachers every three years if all
is right, renew the other two years. l give
no new certificates unless they pass in the
theory and practice of teaching. Am I not
right, Professor Newell?
Professor Newell replied:
Yes; you always are.
Now, who will certify to Newell's
infallibility?
A WORD of friendly advice to the
new county commissioners.
Give no man an office who says he
speeds it."
Remember, that it is the office
that is in needy circumstances. That
is, the office needs Il man to fill it,
uot pensioner upon its revenue.
Give no man an office who says he
sis entitled to it."
In government of equal political
rights there cannot possibly exist any
rrescriptive titles.
Were this not so the JOURNAL
would have told you. Besides,
were it not the truth there would be
either offices for all or offices for
none.
Personal integrity, official capacity
and industrious habits are claims
worthy of consideration, but each of
these, like charity, "vaunteth not
itself, is not puffed up." The man,
therefore, for whom the Office is look
ing is generally one who has not
sounding brass enough in both cheeks
to electrotype pool check.

"The Maryland Gold Fields" The
riddle about this statement is-how
a Cumberland authority could utilize
the word, "Maryland,' in phrasing a
mining region.

fundamental doctrine of republican

Several of the leading companies of
the region are seriously considering
proposal to introduce in their mines
the cable system of underground haul
age. This consists of an endless rope
and grip, by which cars may be moved
up or down grade, or in and out of
the mine at a uniform speed. This
action, it is said, is forced upon the
companies by the fact that the existing
system is oppressively expensive.

HAVING destroyed the canal by
voting against the constitutional con-
vention and John X. Cowen, the
waterway savers are playing the men
dicant at the seat of the treasury sur
plus. But all the money they will
get there will not lessen the necessi-
ty for reducing the revenue. For
through the fog gathering darkly
over the doomed ditch we seem to
hear from the bursting vaults the
chilly whisper: Not Il cent for the
canal, but millions for rest. This
apparently rude remark is supposed
to refer to the agitation kept up by
the Cumberland Times.
